Tesla’s humanoid robot is now 30% faster, 22 pounds lighter
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has revealed a new prototype of its humanoid robot, Optimus Gen 2. It can dance and do squats.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and executive chair of X (formerly Twitter), has revealed a new prototype of Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, which is lighter and faster than previous versions. Musk shared a video presentation of Optimus Gen 2 via his X account on Dec. 13.
Musk has repeatedly called for more regulatory oversight of artificial intelligence (AI), as he believes AI may be “smarter than all humans at everything” in the future.
In December, the entrepreneur made some of his boldest claims, claiming that a “digital god” would make the copyright lawsuits regarding the AI irrelevant. Musk previously predicted that artificial general intelligence (AGI) would arrive before 2030, an estimate many industry experts disputed as overly optimistic.
